Baby Boy Doll – Little Jack Horner
Little Jack Horner is an awake baby boy doll thoughtfully designed for use in child representation therapy and as a comforting companion, particularly for individuals living with dementia.
Crafted with a soft-touch silicone vinyl head and ¾ limbs, he features a cuddly cloth body filled with polyester fibre. Lightweight and easy to hold, Jack is ideal for individuals who may be frail or have limited strength. While not realistic in weight, his design allows for safe, comforting interaction without causing strain.
Jack’s embedded mohair hair is soft, washable, and rooted for added realism. He is also fully poseable, meaning his limbs can be gently positioned for more natural, lifelike play. This enhances both therapeutic value and emotional connection.
He comes dressed in the clothing set shown in the images, along with a magnetic pacifier and a bottle.
